In fall 2014, Kafi Dixon and Carl Chandler enrolled in a rigorous night course in the humanities at a community center in their Boston neighborhood of Dorchester. Kafi dreams of starting a land cooperative in Boston for women of color who have experienced trauma and disenfranchisement. Carl, a community elder, is the class’s intellectual leader. White suburban filmmaker James Rutenbeck, awakened to the violence, racism and gentrification that threaten their place in the city, is forced to come to terms with his flawed film premise and his own complicity in racist structures. Spending more time listening than filming, James enlists the pair as collaborators. Five years on, despite many obstacles, Kafi and Carl arrive at surprising new places in their lives, and following their lead, James does too.
